5. JAKARTA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL (JIS)

           

          Jakarta International School (JIS) is a private inernational school in Jakarta, Indonesia. JIS can be referred to as top-class schools. Why is that? Because facilities’s, faculty, environment, teaching metods, etc which have very good quality. This school was founded in 1951. The following sequence of the history of JIS that I quoted from the internet. 1951, the number of PBB workers set up a Joint Embassy School (JES). 1978, JES renamed JIS includes elementary and junior high. 1992, kindergarten JIS inaugurated director general of basic education and secondary education ministry the Hasan Walinono. 2010, rising government regulation number 17 on the management and organization of education, this provision requires an international school in collaboration with accredited educational institution in the country of origin and recognized Indonesia. 2013, the constitutional court dissolved the presence of international school. 2014, sexual assault case gave rise to an international shool evaluation plan.

          JIS has 2,400 students aged 3 to 18 years from 60 countries. The school curriculum follows the model of North America. JIS has three campuses, two in the SD in Pattimura and Pondok Indah and one main campus for middle and high school in Cilandak, South Jakarta. JIS has many famous graduates include Jackson Curtin (profesional skateboarder), Mayo Soetoro Ng (teachers and Barack Obama’s half sister), Cinta Laura (singer and actress of Indonesia) etc. Where JIS has foreign teachers and lecturers from Indonesia. Two teachers of different countries have high teaching quality or both in accordance with the international school accreditation. Due to the JIS is the largest private school in Jakarta, Indonesia. However, the presence of the teacher salary comparison between foreign teachers and lectures from Indonesia at this school. This comparison has a huge difference. Amoung the foreign teachers earn a minimum wage of about 50 million dollars to 100 million. While the teaching of Indonesian earn a minimum wage of about 15 million dollars to 50 million dollars per month.

          Below this is for a glimpse of kindergarten, elementary, junior high, high school ACG (Academic Collebes Group) international school, Jakarta. Sources discourse I quote below from the internet to simply inform. Kindergarten, teaching quality giving excellent academic results since the period studied preschool through preparation University. Educational experience focused not only on aspects academic but also aspects social, cultural, creativity and self development. ACG has determined that quality teaching and the curiculum that has been proven to engage students in achieving success. ACG Primary School, has a learning program based on the overall development of the child from the prespective of the social, cultural, emotional and physical with a strong focus on literacy and numeracy knowledge. As well as the technology is also fully in the curriculum and the students practice, develope and seek to know how to improve their learning expperience by utilizing a varriety of media. High School, qualification an internationally recognized qualification is the path to university-the best university in he world. At this level students are challenged to face the exam-university exams. ACG program is a world-class program.

          In recent years, precisely in April 2014 a lot of news in the media about 5 year old JIS students have been repeatedly raped by employees of hygiene while going to the toilet. When I read the news still remembered with words Jokowi. Amoung Jakarta governor, Joko Widodo (Jokowi) argue about sexual violence in JIS due to weak oversight functions. According to Jokowi, monitoring should be routine in all schools, including private shollos, meeting JIS expensive though. In addition, Jokowi appealed to every school to be more cautious again in recruiting employees, from janitors to secuirity officers. So far, at school, students are not only related to the teacher alone, but also with other school officials. Jokowi hope the perpetrators get appropriate punishment, it has entered jurisdictions. The two actors have been languishing in jail. The layout of the building, especially the bathroom for kindergarten children could be closer to the classroom, and there are counselor who accompany. I hope this incident does not happen again. With the public opinion of JIS parties concerned can fix it for the convenience of parents and children.
